YOUR VOTE. YOUR SHIRT. YOUR BORO.
By Middlesbrough FC
The band is back – with a swoosh! Boro have unveiled their new-look home kit for 2008-09, as chosen by the club’s supporters.
With a shirt featuring the iconic white chestband, the new strip will go on sale exclusively to season card holders from 8am tomorrow (Thursday May 8) – in good time for the summer holidays.
The strip will be worn by the team for the first time in the season’s final match, at home to Manchester City on Sunday (3pm).
The shirt – featuring an innovative new swoosh to the popular chestband - was chosen by Boro supporters who took part in a fans’ poll.
All sizes of kit will be available from 8am on Thursday from both MFC Retail stores, at the Riverside Stadium and in Captain Cook Square, Middlesbrough.
It will be available only to 2007-08 season card holders on Thursday and Friday when both stores will be open from 8am to 8pm.
Season card holders must produce their card at the time of purchase.
The kit will go on general sale from Saturday when both stores will be open from 9am to 6pm.
The stadium store will also be open from 10am through to 3pm kick-off on Sunday and will reopen for an hour after the final whistle. The town centre store will be open 10am-4pm on Sunday.
Online orders can be placed via the club’s official website at the club's official website from 8am on Thursday but MFC cannot guarantee delivery before Sunday’s match.
The home shirts are available in all children’s and adult’s sizes.
Prices remain the same for a seventh successive year, with adult shirts priced £40 apart from small sizes, which are just £35. Children’s sizes are £26 and £30.
The new red shorts are £17 and £19 for adults, £13.50 and £15 for children. New-style red socks are priced £6, £7, £8 and £9. Mini-kits for infants aged 12-18 months, 18-24 months and 2-3 years are also available, priced £26.50.
Goalkeeper kit in either yellow and black or green and black is also available.
The shirt launch will be supported by a marketing campaign featuring Riverside season card holders Clive Edge, Gavin McCabe and Sheryl Helm modelling the new shirt alongside their Boro heroes.
MFC Marketing Manager Matt Emmerson said: “It was our fans who voted for the new shirt so we wanted to involve them in the marketing campaign. We are reinforcing the fact that the fans are an integral part of the club.”
More than 10,000 Boro supporters took part in a ‘Top Idol’ poll to choose the new-look shirt.
Over the course of eight days fans voted by internet, text and postcards for their favourite from three designs produced by Boro’s Italian kit manufacturers Errea.
The winning shirt received 42.4% of the votes, with the others receiving 30.5% and 27.1%.
Almost 80% voted to ‘Back the Band’ in a previous poll of 6,500 fans.
Schoolboys Robbie Hanratty, from Eston, and Ben Gee, of Billingham, won an exciting trip to Italy after winning a prize draw involving all those who took part in the Top Idol poll. They enjoyed a two-night stay in Parma and Milan, courtesy of MFC and Errea.

A GUARANTEED PROFIT OF AT LEAST £41.00 ON THE UEFA CUP FINAL
Did you know that it is possible to win money on Wednesday evening's Uefa Cup Final between Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg, whatever the result?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm and we can guarantee you a profit of at least £41.00, whatever the result of the match. All you have to do is follow the simple instructions below and then sit back and enjoy the game. At full-time (ninety minutes), you will be at least £41.00 better off, whatever the result of the match.
We must point out that if you want to take this bet, you should do it now because if the odds change, then the figures here will be invalidated. If they have changed, let us know and we will rework the bet for you.
You can still do this if you have a Betfair account but your overall profit will be reduced by £25.00 as you won't receive the £25.00 cashback as an existing account holder.
If you are unsure about this bet, you are most welcome to call us on 01642 223229 and we will help you as much as we can.
We're going to lay out a total of £80.00 on the Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg match and we will collect £122.63 if Rangers win, £123.90 if Zenit St Petersburg win and £121.00 if it's a draw. That's a minimum profit of 51%, a much higher interest rate than you will get in any high street bank.
Here's how it's done. Just follow these simple instructions.
1. Open an account with Coral. It is really important that you enter the bonus code of CORALTD when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Betfair. It is really important that you enter the promotional code of BFB425 when prompted. This is to ensure that you receive your bonus.
Open an account with Extrabet
 .
This shouldn't take you any longer than a few minutes.
2. Make the following deposits into your new accounts.
Deposit £20.00 into your new Coral account.
Deposit £26.00 into your new Betfair account.
Deposit £34.00 into your Extrabet account.
3. Now make the following bets.
Place £20.00 on the draw at 3.20 (11/5) with Coral.
Coral will now add a £10.00 bonus to your account. Place this on the draw as well. You will now have £30.00 riding on the draw.
Back Rangers with £26.00 at 3.9 (14/5) (or higher if available) with Betfair.
Place £34.00 on Zenit St Petersburg at 2.13 (11/10) with Extrabet .
Extrabet match your first bet up to £25 so you will now have £59.00 riding on Zenit St Petersburg.

You have temporarily laid out a total of £80.00 on the Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg match. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.
4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.
If it's a draw, you collect £121.00. That's £96.00 from Coral plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Rangers win, you collect £122.63. That's £97.63 from Betfair plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
If Zenit St Petersburg win you collect £123.90. That's £98.90 from Extrabet plus a £25.00 cashback from Betfair.
5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg match is a draw and you make £41.00 profit. However, if Rangers win you make £42.63 and if Zenit St Petersburg win you make £43.90. That's a minimum profit of 51%, a much better rate of interest that you would get at any high street bank or building society.

We guarantee this bet
It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for four seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.
Only twice has our refund guarantee been triggered and that was when we did all the figures wrong and sent refunds out to those who had followed our advice and made a small loss.
Our refund guarantee works like this. If this bet doesn't work like we say it will and you end up out of pocket, we will refund your losses. Simple as that.
That means that you simply cannot lose on this, whatever happens and even if we messed up the numbers.
The only stipulation here is that you must click on the links on this page to be eligible for the refund guarantee, not that you'll be needing to claim anyway. Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
